Unless the tree narcs on you.

Damn, I wish I'd read your second sentence.

Wait, a what?

They smell like vomit.

Not even fruit, just a fleshy pine cone of sorts.

Some places they eat the fruit, like Japan and China

Yeah, the meme is fine but OP got the wrong tree in the title. Should be the callery pear.

No, it's genetically the offspring of the plant, and contains at least one non-reproductive cell. Pollen produces the male gametes, so the seeds created from it produce the 3rd generation of plant, genetically speaking. (1st gen is pollen producer, 2nd gen is pollen, 3rd gen is seed.) It's basically an ultra-minimal gametophyte stage.

Yeah, but why does it sometimes smell like mammal cum?

I thought this for the longest time until I fell down a rabbit hole a while back. Pollen is literally the tree's offspring in the form of microscopic plants. When the flowers of a tree are fertilized, the pollen literally grow into the actual reproductive parts of the plant to begin the fertilization process.

You're a wizard, Harry

Smh outed themselves as gooners who can't even tell anymore

The people who owned our house before us planted one in our front yard. We didn't realize what it was until a couple years after we had lived here and it started sprouting its flowers. Even then it took us a while to realize where that smell is coming from. Now the thing is fucking huge and taking it down would be incredibly difficult and expensive because of where it's planted. So 3 weeks out of the year we just don't go outside and keep our windows closed... 😑

P.S. we do not live in the south. I don't even understand why this thing is here.

Please don't tell me figs smell like cum as well! My wife just got a fig tree for our patio
